I'm not sure if this is a hardware error or a software one, but it's been driving me mad. My box stopped passing POST a while back, so opened it up and plugged in a half-plugged RAM chip. Now it boots fine, but it keeps showing these ata1 messages. It also takes forever for the BIOS to load grub, which leads me to think that it's a hardware error.
I have my kernel set to boot quiet for speed related reasons, and on boot I get these two messages:
| Code: | [ 10.458014] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
[ 20.503011] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) |
This harddrive, along with the rest of the hardware, is over ten years old. Does this mean it's finally dying, or did I just break something on the last kernel update?
The bootloader I use is the grub2 live ebuild.

| Setting it to cable select seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks. |
